William Court Gully, Speaker of this House, for his eminent services during the important period in 1086 which he has with such distinguished ability and dignity presided in the Chair of this House; and to assure His Majesty that whatever expense His Majesty may think proper to incur on that account this House will make good the same," has been presented to His Majesty; and His Majesty has been pleased to receive the same very graciously, and has commanded him to acquaint this House that His Majesty is desirous, in compliance with the wishes of His faithful Commons, to confer upon the said right hon. William Court Gully some signal mark of His Royal Favour; but, as the same cannot be effectually granted and secured without the concurrence of Parliament, His Majesty recommends to the House of Commons the adoption of such measures as may be necessary for the accomplishment of this purpose.
